  • Despite my executive disfunction, I find enjoyment in doing household chores; more so than I do with my job.

    Plus, everything piling up over the week is what I find stressful. So I try very, very hard to do at least one thing a day, every day. At least that way, no matter how bad my executive disfunction gets, I can at least say I’ve done something.

    Today my goals are;

    1. Take my dog to the park and walk around for a bit.
    2. Start cleaning up and see what it’ll take to fix my garage.

    That’s it. If I end up doing more, then that’s icing on the cake. But at the very least, I want to be able to close my eyes tonight with some satisfaction.

    ~I know this is shitposting, but this gives me the excuse to verbalize my intentions and have the universe hold me accountable. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.~






  • No they don’t conflict; they’re symbiotic.

    The “American dream” was dreamed up by rich capitalists to encourage poorer people to work harder, longer hours, and to do so with as little grumbling as possible. Couple it with the “rite of passage” mentality - i.e. working super shitty conditions because everyone else had to do the same - then it’s the perfect indoctrination needed to convince people that their hardships are their own failures and not the system’s.

    Another, simpler, way to look at it is that the “American Dream” is a carrot on a very long stick that is dangled in front of us to encourage us to move forward with their capitalist agenda while making us think we’re getting a reward for our labor.
